Creams L’Oreal Paris

Today we will look at the creams of one of the most popular French brands. We think you have already guessed what cosmetics we are talking about.

Features of L’Oreal Paris creams

Face cream is the foundation of skin care. We start our day with it and end it with it, applying a gentle substance with a pleasant aroma before going to bed.

In the language of cosmetologists, a cream is a cosmetic product for skin care in the form of an oil-in-water or water-in-oil emulsion.

All modern creams are based on lipid-replenishing substances, water and biologically active components. And to mix water and oil, emulsifiers are added to the composition.

This does not mean that all creams are the same in composition and purpose. Among the main types of creams are:

  • moisturizers;

  • nutritious;

  • matting;

  • anti-aging;

  • cleansing;

  • sun protection;

  • protective.

Well, if their formula is:

  • created on the basis of quality ingredients;

  • effective, which has been proven in the laboratory.

All these characteristics and advantages are possessed by L’Oréal Paris creams, developed in the course of many years of collaboration between the brand’s laboratories and dermatologists from different countries.

The basis of all modern creams is lipid-replenishing substances, water and biologically active components.

Main Components

To understand how effective the formula is and to what extent it meets your needs, just read the list of active ingredients on the package. Manufacturers make no secret of this. On the contrary, it is in their own interests to indicate the composition, especially if it includes patented developments.

So, let’s list the main ingredients of L’Oréal Paris creams.

Proretinol A

An improved form of vitamin A. Its main mission is to promote cellular renewal and stimulate the production of collagen, the main building material of the skin, thanks to which it looks supple, smooth and dense.

Proretinol is found in L’Oréal Paris Revitalift Balancing Care Cream.

Pro-Retinol A is an advanced formula of Vitamin A.

hyaluronic acid

The beneficial properties of this substance were discovered more than 80 years ago. Almost all beauty users are aware that hyaluronic acid prevents dehydration by retaining moisture in the cells and preventing it from evaporating. There are high and low molecular weight hyaluronic acid. The first works on the surface of the skin and acts as a filler, the second penetrates deeper and is a moisturizer.

Fragmented hyaluronic acid is present, for example, in the products of the L’Oreal Paris “Revitalift Filler” range.

Proxylan

The molecule, synthesized from beech wood and patented by L’Oréal, is considered one of the most effective anti-aging ingredients. The principle of its action is as follows: getting on the skin, acidified activates the production of glycosaminoglycans, which form the basis of the intercellular substance of the skin and are responsible for turgor.

A cream with proxylan (look for it in the Revitalift Laser X3 line) with regular use returns the skin to the density characteristic of a young age.

Fruit acids

The task of glycolic and other AHA acids is simple and complex at the same time – to free the upper layer of the epidermis from dead cells and slightly lighten the skin, but not injure it.

Thanks to fruit acids, the skin relief is leveled.

With acids:

  • the relief of the skin is leveled;

  • small wrinkles are smoothed out;

  • pigmentation decreases;

  • pores are visually narrowed;

  • blackheads become less visible.

There are acids, in particular, in the night peeling lotion “Revitalift Laser X3” L’Oréal Paris.

Moisturizers

Every day, the skin loses moisture, as it is exposed to negative external influences. Lifestyle also matters: stress, lack of sleep, poor diet, bad habits – all this is the path to dehydration. And between moisture deficiency and early aging, you can safely put an equal sign, because:

  1. weaken the protective resources of the epidermis;

  2. the skin becomes thinner;

  3. lines of dehydration appear.

The developers of L’Oréal Paris have foreseen such scenarios and create innovative formulas for high-quality and long-term hydration. Here are some examples of products that you just have to try to see if they work out of the box.

Moisture Genius Facial Aquafluid, L’Oréal Paris

The texture on the skin is not felt, which cannot be said about the effect. The formula based on aloe juice and high molecular weight hyaluronic acid acts immediately in 5 layers of the epidermis, providing moisture for 72 hours.

Nourishing creams

The primary task of such a cream is to help the skin restore the lack of its own fats (lipids), which are necessary to maintain the protective mantle in working condition. Additional nourishment will relieve the skin of dryness, dehydration, wrinkles.

Anti-aging products

With age, the skin gradually becomes thinner, loses elasticity and density, radiance disappears, wrinkles appear. To combat these changes, as well as to prevent them, anti-age creams with a pronounced lifting effect are designed.

Revitalift Face Cream Laser x3 “Revitalizing Care”, SPF 20, L’Oréal Paris

Due to the high concentration of active ingredients, it has a triple effect.

  1. The proxylan molecule is responsible for correcting wrinkles and improving skin tone.

  2. Lipohydroxy acid reduces pigmentation.

  3. UV filter SPF 20 prevents photoaging.

Feature of application

Here we repeat again that the basis of any care is the minimum program:

  • purification;

  • toning;

  • hydration (nutrition).

And after the age of 30 – also the use of a cream for the area around the eyes.

Often, experts recommend using products of the same brand and even one line. The fact is that “relatives” products complement each other, which is not bad for the final result.

Just in case, let’s refresh the memory of the sequence of stages of daily care.

  • Remove impurities (and make-up) from your skin with micellar water or an oil-based cleanser. Then wash your face with a cleansing gel or mousse.

  • Treat your face with a cotton pad with tonic. The tonic will complete the cleansing and prepare the skin for the perception of subsequent care.

  • Follow with a hyaluronic acid serum. Particularly carefully distribute it over the “dry” zones (most often these are the cheekbones and cheeks).

  • After 3-5 minutes, when the serum is completely absorbed, apply face cream (along the massage lines) and eye cream (with light patting movements on the orbital bone, trying not to stretch the skin).
